Nevermind. I just discovered that my system sounds do not work either. Shoot! I assumed sound was working ok because I was watching TV (TV-card) and I responded during a break. ... It's deceiving when other things like your tv card works, isn't it?
Yes, indeed. OTOH, what also was deceiving is that, when you wrote 'sound does not work', you actually meant 'sound does partially not work'. ;P But we figured this out. ;)
But that is basically how it appears. All other music, movies, etc sound works, but the basic KDE sounds, program sounds, log in sounds, don't.
Ok, it's good to know and it's easy to fix with a new compile. Here is the description for arts-gmcop: A modular software synthesizer that generates real-time audio streams, supports midi, is easily extendable, and uses CORBA for separation of GUI and synthesis.
Compare that to the description of arts itself. Apart from a few signs, it is /more or less/ the *same* description. (To compare, I used mc on two different virtual consoles, on the one I opened arts-*.rpm, and opened the 'HEADER' file, on the other I did the same with arts-gmcop.)
Sounds like you should install it also.
Really? How do I know that I /need/ that package? BTW, I'm going to try if clearing out /tmp and /var/tmp helps. Cheers, Leen
